Today we have a nice surprise photo gallery to share with our readers. Back in September, NECA revealed a Thermal Vision Fugitive Predator from The Predator (2018). The figure is a variant of their Ultimate Fugitive Predator, with a paint deco that’s based on poster art used for the film (and is being used on the newly released Blu-Ray). The figure is available exclusively at Target stores starting this week! The thermal Vision Predator figure will be priced at $26.99, and should begin showing up in the NECA section of your local Target before the end of the week (may vary store-to-store). The figure is packed in a collector friendly window box.
Our friends at NECA were kind enough to send the figure over for an exclusive first in-hand look at the new Predator. We’re excited to finally share this with our fans and readers. We have a full photo gallery and review for the Thermal Vision Fugitive Predator. Check it out after the jump.

In director Shane Black’s The Predator, we are introduced to a new take on the intergalactic hunters, as traditional Yautja give way to generically enhanced Ultimate Predators. NECA‘s first figure from the 2018 reboot of the franchise is based on the Fugitive Predator, who is introduced early in the film. Additional figures are planned, including the massive Assassin Predator. The Fugitive Predator gets the Ultimate Figure treatment off the bat, with interchangeable portraits, interchangeable hands and forearms, and detachable blades for the wrist gauntlets. The figure is in stores now.
We picked up the figure from Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth. After the jump, you can check out a full gallery and my thoughts on the figure.
